Welcome Programmers!

programming.dev is a collection of programming communities and other topics relevant to software engineers, hackers, roboticists, hardware and software enthusiasts, and more.

The site is primarily english with some communities in other languages. We are connected to many other sites using the activitypub protocol that you can view posts from in the "all" tab while the "local" tab shows posts on our site.

🔗 Site with links to all relevant programming.dev sites

🟩 Not a fan of the default UI? We have alternate frontends we host that you can view the same content from

ℹ️ We have a wiki site that communities can host documents on

⚖️ All users are expected to follow our Code of Conduct and the other various documents on our legal site

❤️ The site is run by a team of volunteers. If youre interested in donating to help fund things such as server costs you can do so here

💬 We have a microblog site aimed towards programmers available at https://bytes.programming.dev

🛠️ We have a forgejo instance for hosting git repositories relating to our site and the fediverse. If you have a project that relates and follows our Code of Conduct feel free to host it there and if you have ideas for things to improve our sites feel free to create issues in the relevant repositories. To go along with the instance we also have a site for sharing small code snippets that might be too small for their own repository.

🌲 We have a discord server and a matrix space for chatting with other members of the community. These are bridged to each other (so you can interact with people using matrix from discord and vice versa.

About this Book

The Rust programming language is extremely well suited for concurrency, and its ecosystem has many libraries that include lots of concurrent data structures, locks, and more. But implementing those structures correctly can be difficult. Even in the most well-used libraries, memory ordering bugs are not uncommon.

In this practical book, Mara Bos, team lead of the Rust library team, helps Rust programmers of all levels gain a clear understanding of low-level concurrency. You’ll learn everything about atomics and memory ordering and how they're combined with basic operating system APIs to build common primitives like mutexes and condition variables. Once you’re done, you’ll have a firm grasp of how Rust’s memory model, the processor, and the role of the operating system all fit together.

With this guide, you’ll learn:

How Rust's type system works exceptionally well for programming concurrency correctly

All about mutexes, condition variables, atomics, and memory ordering

What happens in practice with atomic operations on Intel and ARM processors

How locks are implemented with support from the operating system

How to write correct code that includes concurrency, atomics, and locks

How to build your own locking and synchronization primitives correctly

Available free of charge. But I doubt I'll ever read it. Never enough time and energy for everything.
